Long ago I used PC Netlink with Solaris for SMB...it worked quite well..and I liked it better than Samba back then. Have not checked if that product is current though... It was based on actual NT server code somehow aquired through aquisition/license by Sun -- so compatibility with older versions of Windows was very good. -- jt25741 SB3->AR Masters Coax -> PS Audio DLIII -> Coincident CST IC XLR -> Sim Audio P5 -> Cardas Golden Reference XLR -> Sim Audio W5 -> PS Audio Xtreme Plus(Low) AQCV4(mid/hi)-> Magnepan 3.6R ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jt25741's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8645 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33322 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
